RIYADH, May 25, 2018

Huawei Consumer Business Group Saudi Arabia and Zain Mobile Telecommunication Company have announced the availability of Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS exclusively for pre-order in Zain’s main stores in Saudi Arabia.

The phone combines Porsche Design’s signature brand aesthetic with Huawei’s mobile engineering expertise setting a new standard in luxury smartphones, said a company statement.

It is the world’s first smartphone equipped with microcapsule PCM – an aerospace cooling technology for maintaining a safe temperature, it added.

In addition, the Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS features an innovative in-screen fingerprint sensor which allows consumers to wake up the device by floating their finger above the display, while touching the sensor to unlock the device is lightning fast. The back-fingerprint sensor can also be used to unlock the device or to access a second, secure space.

Pablo Ning, president of Huawei Consumer Business Group Saudi Arabia, said: “Saudi Arabia is one of the markets that appreciates and honours innovation and craftsmanship just as much as we do, that’s why we surely believe our latest limited edition which represents a masterpiece, will be sought after by trendsetters across the kingdom.”

“The phone is built for luxury aficionados, purveyors of style, who sought to experience the joy of unmatched speed, unsurpassed performance and unrivalled design,” he said.

“Just as we are known for our innovative and intelligent devices, Porsche is renowned for its high horsepower and design standards, making this the perfect partnership to develop a unique, luxurious and brilliant model. We deeply value partners with a passion for performance and design,” he added.

The phone features TÜV Safety Certified Huawei SuperCharge with a 4,000 mAh battery with AI-powered battery management. It is the first Huawei smartphone to enable quick wireless charging, it said.

The luxury smartphone is available at a price of SR5999 ($1,500.90) in black. The launch is scheduled to take place in the kingdom on June 1, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
